| 0s | hello everyone we are live it is time |
|---|---|
| 4s | for a pretty important Q&A I think it's |
| 6s | being a long time coming since we've |
| 8s | done kind of a general Q&A as such so |
| 10s | before well you know this is the time to |
| 13s | do it we've got quite a lot to talk |
| 15s | about so laughs ever do we're gonna |
| 17s | introduce everyone and talk about what |
| 19s | they do and you know in regards to the |
| 22s | runescape is games just so you're |
| 24s | familiar with them because to people you |
| 26s | might not have seen on the stream for a |
| 27s | very long time and they're back on the |
| 28s | stream as well so we'll get to him in |
| 29s | just a moment Jack start you I'm what |
| 32s | Jack I'm a designer currently I'm |
| 34s | working on money and smithing and |
| 36s | absolutely this as a chance to sail |
| 38s | through the mines with a bit obviously |
| 39s | ongoing right now yes you guys have been |
| 42s | releasing updates and today was a pretty |
| 44s | big we did some hot fixing last week to |
| 46s | fix small issues including that mining |
| 49s | XP was ridiculously high we've done a |
| 51s | cold fix today so the server's restarted |
| 54s | and that's fixed loads of bugs we've |
| 57s | also put in some vendors that you can |
| 59s | claim materials and buff items from so |
| 61s | it's much easier to test what buffs are |
| 63s | going to do and that's something so |
| 64s | Phelps the duration extreme mostly |
| 66s | related to mining speaking questions of |
| 68s | course when we come to you for that one |
| 69s | to my left mods hi it has been a very |
| 72s | long time hello sir just a little one so |
| 74s | for anyone who might be new to stream |
| 76s | bit of a reminder what do you do here at |
| 78s | jagex I am a senior lost nuisance oh and |
| 85s | I'm currently working on mobile but I |
| 89s | also have quite a heavy hand with combat |
| 92s | office |
| 93s | that's terrible way to put it and we in |
| 94s | quote for that what I mean is like I get |
| 100s | involved in combat that's fair and |
| 103s | obviously we have comic questions that |
| 105s | you guys have asked us on reddit twitter |
| 107s | so on and so forth I'm going to pick up |
| 108s | obviously as well we are taking |
| 110s | questions through the chat so being |
| 112s | ready for the stream will probably |
| 113s | answer a couple of these questions on |
| 115s | the chat but of course if these guys |
| 116s | want to jump in at any time if they see |
| 117s | anything they can do that it's my right |
| 119s | like hell |
| 121s | oh nice pie but healthy it's been a |
| 123s | while Mikkel oh yes I've been on since |
| 125s | the last Christmas dream that's correct |
| 127s | where we all cheated heavily on and the |
| 129s | donkey or whether we had yes I am |
| 134s | senior producer on runescape and it's |
| 137s | kind of like my responsibility is to |
| 139s | manage they kind of roadmaps for both |
| 142s | the development and the release roadmaps |
| 144s | so what the teams are working on and |
| 146s | when their stuff they're working on and |
| 147s | gets released into the game yeah and |
| 150s | yeah and my kind of focus at the moment |
| 152s | is kind of 2019 and Beyond kind of have |
| 156s | a making sure we've kind of had this |
| 158s | kind of plan that kind of there you were |
| 163s | for my lines yeah that we have something |
| 172s | where we have we're not just kind of |
| 174s | this year we've kind of like updated |
| 176s | something here updated something there |
| 177s | sort of thing we're putting together a |
| 179s | kind of larger plan with a overarching |
| 182s | kind of narrative and stuff that we |
| 183s | everything kind of makes sense and it'd |
| 186s | be kind of moving the game in a certain |
| 188s | direction something yes obviously on |
| 190s | stream sounds I like those kind of big |
| 191s | top level questions as well yes it helps |
| 193s | to have yeah I can answer more strategic |
| 196s | yes I guess but not so much of the nitty |
| 200s | gritty ninja pixie took help ease rights |
| 205s | we have more Draven Oh Raven what do you |
| 208s | what do you do for jagex I'm lead |
| 210s | content developer most recently I was |
| 214s | involved with needle skips and currently |
| 217s | I'm working on early dungeons three |
| 220s | shadow reef one of the kinds your job is |
| 226s | sure right back on the stream with a |
| 234s | band indeed so we kind of a phony |
| 237s | honesty for requesting and law stuff as |
| 239s | well so obviously we have those kind of |
| 240s | questions so it's great to have you on |
| 241s | the stream to kind of answer them as |
| 242s | well so bunny the scripts really quickly |
| 245s | I think it's safe to say it's gone down |
| 246s | incredibly well are you happy when we |
| 250s | got to the content honestly I think you |
| 251s | have a couple shouts to do as well oh |
| 253s | yes I mean I mod Helen deserves a big |
| 257s | shout out because she did some vital |
| 260s | work on it and tweaking and improving |
| 262s | the interface so that we could get open |
| 264s | running nice and smoothly and also to us |
| 266s | use the needle in |
| 268s | but mod crystal laid all the groundwork |
| 271s | or all the prototype of stuff working |
| 273s | built a lot of what we see and of course |
| 276s | mod Osborne wrote it so he deserves all |
| 278s | the credit for the lovely writing yeah |
| 280s | so I think in essence I'm now Before we |
| 283s | jump into we've kind of just summarized |
| 285s | a stream so as I mentioned the start |
| 287s | stream is kind of a general Q&A but we |
| 288s | use this as an opportunity to kind of |
| 290s | answer these questions you guys have |
| 291s | wanted answers for a long time because |
| 293s | in the past are streaming schedules |
| 295s | being kind of related to the content |
| 297s | coming out content showcases and so on |
| 298s | this is a general one we're covering |
| 300s | sections from the upcoming - myth in law |
| 303s | we have more than top-level stuff hand |
| 304s | combat so we have a nice rounded |
| 306s | approach here for them so when the |
| 310s | stream starts it didn't realize how kind |
| 312s | of like rural very dark we dressed in |
| 315s | you're the huh and you don't even |
| 334s | realize it was that an M&M reference |
| 337s | okay we're apparently we type of coated |
| 339s | peanut so let's take this off a couple |
| 348s | of questions coming in some of these are |
| 350s | from reddit so just wrap them off so |
| 351s | what is the likelihood of updating trees |
| 353s | and ground textures to be consistent |
| 355s | when the needle skips quest brackets |
| 356s | look so beautiful by the way his plane |
| 359s | for the needle scripts quest made the |
| 360s | player feel like this should be what |
| 362s | runescape should be like across the |
| 363s | entire gray and graphically so yeah it's |
| 366s | definitely definitely a desire of ours |
| 369s | is to kind of graphically update like |
| 371s | the whole surface world we haven't |
| 373s | really done the best job in the past of |
| 377s | [Music] |
| 379s | setting ourselves up for success in |
| 381s | terms of being able to graphically |
| 383s | update the whole area we've kind of like |
| 385s | taken one area and we focused on it and |
| 387s | then we've gone to another area and |
| 390s | we've created completely different as |
| 391s | new assets and such and what we're doing |
| 394s | trying to do a lot more of is create |
| 396s | assets that we can reuse a lot which |
| 397s | then allows us to go around and |
| 398s | graphically update the whole area |
| 400s | a lot better we've also kind of like |
| 405s | over the years it's always been the case |
| 407s | that when you've created a new asset |
| 409s | you've you won't come to create a new |
| 413s | area they've gone right |
| 414s | we need the barrel and someone creates a |
| 416s | brand-new barrel specifically for the |
| 418s | area and as a result we have this |
| 419s | database of like millions of different |
| 422s | barrels and crates and such and we want |
| 425s | to get to the point where actually we're |
| 426s | making fewer of those and then you can |
| 428s | more easily use those if you graphically |
| 431s | update one you graphically update them |
| 433s | all at the same time something so yes |
| 437s | we're trying to be as much smarter with |
| 440s | how we do things we do have desires to |
| 443s | graphically update kind of the surface |
| 446s | world in South Elsinore it's not a quick |
| 450s | thing but we are kind of putting plans |
| 453s | in place and so we are hoping to do a |
| 456s | bit of that over time sort of thing I'm |
| 458s | again I've been a lot more rapidly than |
| 460s | we have been in the past thing because |
| 463s | we did do we did do like a few you did |
| 466s | have like in the book like a couple |
| 468s | years ago now but you had like falador |
| 470s | and then we did calf of being well and |
| 472s | their white wolf man yeah and there was |
| 474s | was desire to kind of push further out |
| 476s | from that bomb it kind of stalled and |
| 480s | when you do the best strategy for the |
| 482s | stuff and I think it's kind of coming to |
| 483s | play that game we're getting there again |
| 485s | something like with the Halloween |
| 486s | Tibetan is an example that even though |
| 487s | the Halloween was based on Draenor I |
| 488s | know it's obviously the area around |
| 490s | there lambrianou Sauron has actually at |
| 491s | the ground textures update so there's an |
| 492s | opportunity obviously to do that yeah |
| 494s | when we when we do create some content |
| 497s | for an area we do try to rework it as |
| 500s | much as possible but in some of the |
| 505s | times that that is you depending on the |
| 507s | time you have available the the |
| 509s | resources we have available but yeah we |
| 512s | tried when we can something awesome okay |
| 515s | can we get a clear answer in regards to |
| 517s | the premiere artifact it is meant to be |
| 519s | used only by itself or is the current |
| 521s | situation where you can't use nor a bit |
| 523s | a bug so I guess I can take this one |
| 526s | because I'm asked around to try and get |
| 528s | an answer so I got the response which |
| 530s | was it's only supposed to be used by |
| 532s | itself as it's too powerful to be used |
| 533s | in conjecture |
| 534s | conjunction whatever auras and is an |
| 536s | answer on the FAQ about why it isn't an |
| 539s | aura anymore the example I was given was |
| 541s | the patent or in 2016 you were not able |
| 543s | to use the temp set XP boost |
| 546s | anin or at the same time it forced |
| 547s | herself into the aura slot so just what |
| 549s | I clear that one up Raven I meant will |
| 551s | coming to you for this one can you tell |
| 552s | us more about the 2019 direction for the |
| 555s | story and the initiatives you'll be |
| 556s | taking to make questing great again well |
| 559s | this is something both Maud Jack and |
| 562s | myself have been working on |
| 564s | I don't think were going to say too much |
| 565s | at this stage we're definitely looking |
| 567s | this story we're trying to bring story |
| 568s | as a core focus for the game and so |
| 570s | everything kind of ties into the world |
| 572s | story want to give a sense of that the |
| 574s | story of the world is progressing and |
| 576s | moving we're also looking at how like |
| 581s | requisites work so things like quests |
| 583s | requisites that kind of thing |
| 584s | because whilst there certainly an old |
| 586s | facet of how runescape works they're not |
| 589s | as normally they're not always terribly |
| 591s | useful like locking something really |
| 593s | call a new behind you know 15 years of |
| 597s | very old quests some of which haven't |
| 600s | dated terribly well isn't always |
| 601s | brilliant and you don't actually need to |
| 604s | so we're looking at ways to make that |
| 606s | work organically and not be jarring if |
| 610s | we do that but we are looking into all |
| 612s | that moment exactly yeah awesome a |
| 616s | question and anyone who take this one oh |
| 617s | you can all get involved how would you |
| 619s | recommend new players go about questing |
| 621s | we're about spoiling storylines of |
| 622s | quests they're yet to start |
| 625s | thanks a few in the working Stuart's |
| 628s | been looking at putting them in and in |
| 629s | in a specific order has me I think |
| 631s | that's that's that's not out yeah I |
| 633s | don't think we've been looking at |
| 635s | ordering the quests so essentially if |
| 636s | you if you absolutely don't want to ever |
| 638s | play anything out order then then you |
| 641s | can follow a strict prerequisite model |
| 643s | it's that that means you have to play a |
| 645s | lot of really old quests before you |
| 647s | complacent new quests in practice we |
| 649s | don't find new players really have this |
| 651s | issue it's more a thing that existing |
| 653s | players worry that new players well yes |
| 655s | don't just say the fact I've asked for |
| 657s | questions and we've had four different |
| 659s | people answer already as grapes or about |
| 660s | how I answer this one will you ever |
| 662s | release new bosses and so on for lower |
| 664s | level players or do you ever and only |
| 665s | intend to increase the difficulty of the |
| 667s | bosses |
| 668s | I find that we tend to go in a bit of a |
| 670s | cycle where we focus on like the proper |
| 674s | end game for a little bit and then we go |
| 676s | ah |
| 677s | not many people engage with that so |
| 679s | we're gonna release a more accessible |
| 680s | one and that's where we're heading into |
| 683s | now especially with the direction that |
| 684s | we want to go over combat we're going to |
| 686s | have a heavy accessibility focus that's |
| 688s | not to say that we're not going to do |
| 691s | end game bosses it's just rather than to |
| 693s | catering to the top 2% we'd rather cater |
| 695s | to the top like 35 50 percent so I don't |
| 700s | think we'll release like a proper |
| 701s | low-level wing in like low low level |
| 704s | boss but we definitely want a lot more |
| 706s | people engaged when we release a boss so |
| 709s | like kind of mid to high level I think |
| 711s | is where I think think like God Wars |
| 713s | level sort of thing always a lot more |
| 715s | people can get involved obviously |
| 718s | looking there from free spay perspective |
| 720s | obviously back in 2016 we released jar |
| 722s | mole and KPD to free-to-play players as |
| 724s | well so I mean it's an example of OC |
| 726s | allowing lower level players we might |
| 728s | not even be members to try that as well |
| 729s | so okay awesome kalbi coming to you I |
| 732s | think for this one will we ever see a |
| 734s | rework slash additional content of |
| 735s | construction I think once there's no |
| 741s | nothing particularly plan now I think if |
| 743s | we were to do anything we would |
| 745s | introduce new construction methods |
| 747s | before we'd maybe look at reworking |
| 750s | player and house I don't think we'd work |
| 754s | rework Poh first and then and just do |
| 757s | that I think we'd look at more maybe |
| 759s | bringing construction more to the |
| 760s | surface world or other forms of |
| 762s | construction into the game and then |
| 764s | maybe go back and look at pH but right |
| 767s | now it is |
| 769s | we haven't prioritized it that doesn't |
| 772s | mean that it can't be something we could |
| 775s | look at in the near future but right now |
| 778s | it's not something we're working on |
| 779s | awesome |
| 781s | I think PI this will be yan are you |
| 783s | considering different UI for desktop and |
| 785s | mobile I get that some interface as a |
| 787s | hyper mobile but mobile interfaces can |
| 789s | sometimes be a hassle on desktop in |
| 792s | truth it's it's going to be a balance so |
| 794s | if you completely separate everything |
| 797s | then whenever we create a piece of |
| 799s | content we need to create it twice |
| 801s | great you create the mobile version you |
| 803s | pay at the desktop version yes he and |
| 804s | legacy has an example I guess right it's |
| 806s | that like kind of a they kind of work |
| 808s | together but also kind of dome but |
| 811s | basically we don't want to create |
| 813s | ourselves into a area of technical debt |
| 815s | so we'd rather do things together yeah |
| 817s | there's some we do have quite a lot of |
| 819s | tools a lot of the time that we spent on |
| 821s | mobile has been creating tools for |
| 823s | developers when they go forwards so we |
| 825s | released an update recently for you know |
| 826s | the little buttons at the bottom of the |
| 827s | backpack for instance yes that's all the |
| 829s | same code they just render differently |
| 832s | on mobile so it kind of you kind of work |
| 834s | together and that's what more where |
| 835s | we're heading so I totally get it you |
| 838s | don't want big clunky buttons like we |
| 840s | all hated Windows was it Windows 8 when |
| 842s | they were like I'm on a PC why does it |
| 844s | look like a tablet so we're not we're |
| 845s | not going to be heading that way like we |
| 847s | share your frustrations but we do need |
| 848s | to think about being able to bring |
| 850s | everything together the new interface is |
| 851s | in mining and smithing the spring |
| 852s | cleaner interface and the smelting and |
| 856s | smithing interfaces are designed to work |
| 857s | on mobile and desktop and I don't think |
| 859s | you can tell that interacting with them |
| 861s | no I don't feel like oh well into the |
| 865s | make ax the special make X window for it |
| 867s | looks amazing for - minbari you wouldn't |
| 869s | think there's mobile yeah that was |
| 870s | designed with mobile in mind it's |
| 872s | awesome oh all right question a gem a |
| 875s | question anyone can tell you this so you |
| 877s | can all take it if you could bring any |
| 879s | piece of content from old school into |
| 880s | runescape which would it be any piece of |
| 885s | content from old school yes school yes I |
| 891s | mean we can answer others why you guys I |
| 893s | mean can we steal some of the things |
| 895s | that works nautical but not in our se |
| 898s | like I'd like to I know this is weird |
| 900s | can for me given my I don't do any of it |
| 901s | but I'd like to bring some of the PvP |
| 903s | kind of stuff back in because it's very |
| 904s | strong and old-school but not so strong |
| 906s | an rs3 and I'd like to it would be nice |
| 908s | if we could steal that success may going |
| 910s | into the world yeah not necessarily |
| 917s | stealing from but if we can have like if |
| 919s | the wilderness could have that kind of |
| 921s | PvP murder state to it it'd be really |
| 923s | nice when we put content back into the |
| 925s | wilderness and players get why and |
| 927s | they've got a reason to complain now |
| 928s | which is I mean I love the peerage room |
| 932s | update or her us that would be awesome |
| 935s | I mean that would be really cool but |
| 938s | yeah okay yeah that'd be plenty of stuff |
| 941s | if like technically it was as easy to |
| 944s | implement it as it was right |
| 947s | [Laughter] |
| 950s | Jack come see for this one when the - |
| 952s | become real what goes live can those who |
| 953s | went into the bear be rewarded with the |
| 954s | check ax I checked this and we can't |
| 957s | reward beta players specifically there |
| 961s | is some discussion of what we might do |
| 962s | with the check X really is very much |
| 964s | DAGs baby but yes I did not promised at |
| 967s | all might not happen might happen if it |
| 969s | does happen it might be weird it is not |
| 972s | a my it wouldn't be what I always |
| 974s | thought it was just my main problem with |
| 976s | it is we can't we can't oh we don't have |
| 978s | a good system at the moment for |
| 979s | overriding your pickaxe being wielded oh |
| 984s | we might be able to hack it in using the |
| 986s | MTX skilling override system but we |
| 988s | don't we don't have a good way of making |
| 989s | it a cosmetic only pick up yes so it |
| 992s | would have to have stats so these four |
| 994s | are actually considering yeah Wow okay |
| 997s | not necessarily won't necessarily heaven |
| 999s | yeah that's fair comes to you for this |
| 1001s | one pi can we please have barrage is |
| 1003s | give adrenaline on that single targets |
| 1005s | when using it yeah this has been a job |
| 1008s | in the combat backlog for longer than I |
| 1011s | can remember |
| 1012s | so I had a look at it today and it's |
| 1015s | actually a very easy fix |
| 1016s | so boom this is why these streams help |
| 1019s | yeah I'll bump that up the combat the |
| 1024s | the combat backlog and probably fix it |
| 1026s | myself when I get back to my desk to |
| 1028s | make sure that it happens yeah it's also |
| 1031s | bundled up with another inconsistency |
| 1033s | with magic whereby jewel wills and to H |
| 1036s | give two percent adrenaline yeah whereas |
| 1039s | all of the other styles give three |
| 1040s | percent Drennen for 2h because it gives |
| 1043s | 50 like the offhand does stuff so yeah I |
| 1046s | might I might do that figs at the same |
| 1048s | time it's fair this might be a question |
| 1050s | between you and PI Jack as of the time |
| 1054s | the stream is there any news flash |
| 1055s | discussed ideas to share about the set |
| 1057s | effect of trimmed master work this is |
| 1059s | the yeah so so with the monitoring work |
| 1063s | you can make tier 92 melanoma it's very |
| 1067s | expensive to make we're probably going |
| 1068s | to reduce the cost but it was |
| 1069s | be very very expensive in fact more than |
| 1071s | a hundred million even long-term and an |
| 1074s | tr90 to basic male homage isn't good |
| 1075s | enough to justify that price tag at the |
| 1077s | moment so we do want to give it a |
| 1078s | benefit but it's a tricky problem as to |
| 1081s | what that benefit should be because if |
| 1083s | we just slapped 50 was an extra damage |
| 1085s | on it right then it would be must have |
| 1087s | armor because it would be amazing |
| 1088s | but it would also trivialize most of the |
| 1089s | content that's currently in the game and |
| 1091s | then when we release the next hour that |
| 1093s | boss would have to be balanced on the |
| 1094s | assumption that you have this armor and |
| 1096s | also we just crash the prices of |
| 1097s | everything in the game so it's not |
| 1099s | actually easy we can't just add a flat |
| 1101s | damage bonus the way the combat is |
| 1103s | currently balanced we can't just make it |
| 1105s | much better so we're trying to find a |
| 1107s | way to justify the price tag with a |
| 1108s | useful effect that doesn't just |
| 1110s | radically increase your kill times so |
| 1112s | we're not there experimenting with that |
| 1113s | this week yeah we've got some prototypes |
| 1115s | yeah so we're good we're to try and get |
| 1117s | a prototype good nice okay |
| 1124s | 2018 premier membership was somewhat a |
| 1126s | success the four exclusive bonuses were |
| 1130s | have been a bit of a flop and were |
| 1131s | clearly rush why it's 2019 premium more |
| 1133s | expensive with less than excuse me with |
| 1136s | Leicester offered in 2018 is this due to |
| 1138s | membership go into $11 right yeah just |
| 1142s | so in life I mean like we're focusing |
| 1146s | more on actually what the the packages |
| 1150s | in terms of like the value for money all |
| 1152s | the kind of extras we've kind of done in |
| 1154s | the past are well you see how the chest |
| 1158s | goes sort of thing we say we've set one |
| 1160s | thing and then we when we plan to try |
| 1163s | and do stuff over a year it never kind |
| 1165s | of works too well to be asked I mean |
| 1167s | like need to hold your hands up there we |
| 1169s | say hey we'll do this thing and we start |
| 1172s | doing something into and what we fall |
| 1174s | like in the way we intended it and then |
| 1177s | people kind of feel like oh that's not |
| 1179s | why I expected and then we might try and |
| 1181s | like rush to come up with some other way |
| 1184s | to kind of appease people because no |
| 1186s | you're not met their expectations it's |
| 1187s | like let's not promise something which |
| 1190s | the end of the day is not gonna be it |
| 1192s | was a good example of that like being |
| 1194s | Premier you get into all betas right |
| 1195s | however quite an important part of our |
| 1198s | selection process for being in the |
| 1201s | mobile beta is what device you have |
| 1202s | because we |
| 1203s | need to we need to drill down very |
| 1205s | specifically on to what devices were |
| 1207s | testing on so but the trouble is like an |
| 1211s | awful lot of people in Prem Club don't |
| 1212s | have those devices or they've got very |
| 1214s | outdated device you know or they're on |
| 1216s | iOS and it's like it's things these |
| 1218s | things just don't align the way we want |
| 1220s | them to and then we end up giving false |
| 1221s | promises and that's just bad it's fair |
| 1224s | if a clan owner steps down which deputy |
| 1227s | only receives ownership of the clan this |
| 1229s | has never had an official answer to it |
| 1232s | okay boy clan boy boy so TL DR make this |
| 1237s | very quick when you go into clan sense |
| 1239s | is a drop down which elects you to |
| 1241s | assign it by rank choose deputy owner |
| 1243s | mouse over the names usually they're |
| 1245s | joined dates whichever's the oldest |
| 1246s | deputy owner will be the replacement |
| 1248s | owner simple as that really so that's |
| 1251s | that okay it should be a this should be |
| 1253s | a good question any plans for additional |
| 1255s | banks bass bank preset some more action |
| 1257s | bars just some quality of life fins hmm |
| 1260s | action bars and Bank presets I've not |
| 1266s | had a conversation about those in quite |
| 1268s | a while so I won't say anything their |
| 1271s | bank space is kind of one of those |
| 1274s | subjects that just constantly is always |
| 1277s | brew up and we're constantly looking |
| 1279s | into I think people are well aware that |
| 1282s | technically we're kind of at our limits |
| 1285s | and what we can give people and |
| 1288s | therefore we need to do kind of further |
| 1290s | work to do that but it's something we |
| 1294s | hear we do want to look into and try and |
| 1297s | make available possible so it's kind of |
| 1299s | a so when we it give people blank space |
| 1302s | that's like expense on the server and so |
| 1304s | on and so forth right yeah okay cool I |
| 1305s | mean that's Clara lab hi we'll be able |
| 1307s | to explain more technically than I can |
| 1309s | anyone I can so think we probably do the |
| 1313s | best way to extrapolate is to think |
| 1314s | about this right think about the most |
| 1316s | expensive slot value right so you've got |
| 1319s | an object with all of the object |
| 1323s | variable Center so like and an item with |
| 1325s | a gizmo with everything leveled up to |
| 1327s | max you know the most amount of |
| 1328s | information can store on that then |
| 1330s | multiply that art by the number of bank |
| 1334s | spaces that you've got available |
| 1336s | you mind a bit more when you're adding |
| 1337s | more than just that little bit of chunk |
| 1339s | then multiply that up by the maximum |
| 1340s | amount of players that you need and then |
| 1342s | that's the amount of storage space that |
| 1344s | we need to make sure we always have |
| 1345s | allocated at all times to make sure we |
| 1347s | can always say if your players state so |
| 1350s | adding a little adding it might sound |
| 1352s | trivial to just add a bit of bank space |
| 1353s | but when you actually multiply it up by |
| 1355s | how much one slot costs to save and then |
| 1358s | multiply it by all of our players all of |
| 1360s | a sudden it's like boom so that's why it |
| 1363s | takes a while well we are very aware of |
| 1365s | the problem and we know that we're not |
| 1366s | simple every update that adds a bunch |
| 1369s | new of items into the game like the the |
| 1371s | problem just gets worse and worse we did |
| 1373s | do we did do some study into kind of |
| 1377s | like how many people will fix in it you |
| 1379s | effects a decent people but probably not |
| 1383s | as much as you might expect but yeah I |
| 1386s | am enjoying the content that's kind of |
| 1389s | working with that so for example if |
| 1391s | dungeons have their own chests which |
| 1393s | kind of pull away from the bank area at |
| 1395s | bank spaces as it were obviously no |
| 1397s | player on farm ribbon you guys have been |
| 1399s | doing work did work and we got side |
| 1401s | update to try and ease up on the bank |
| 1403s | space wherever possible obviously due to |
| 1404s | the classic breeding as such yeah |
| 1407s | players are not meant to be storing them |
| 1410s | in the bank if it's a bank |
| 1412s | please stop storing them in your mind |
| 1413s | just kill them I mean back in the world |
| 1419s | oh you wish you could have given that |
| 1421s | option huh yeah there you go well we |
| 1424s | ever see a return to more new items |
| 1426s | having the option to drop them rather |
| 1428s | than just put in the destroy option on |
| 1430s | everything as an example spirit gems I |
| 1433s | mean it's not any design decision that |
| 1436s | I'm aware of |
| 1437s | I think it's just something that's |
| 1439s | organically happened it's it's normal to |
| 1441s | do when whether or not the item is |
| 1443s | tradable yes it's not tradable we make |
| 1445s | it destroy because we want to make sure |
| 1448s | it doesn't accidentally again and do |
| 1450s | something where idea so it's better to |
| 1453s | make it destroy also if as a particular |
| 1455s | high value or as useful in you know |
| 1457s | piece of content will make you destroy |
| 1459s | so that players don't accidentally drop |
| 1460s | their own farm ushe as an example like |
| 1462s | if you could somehow drop much to other |
| 1463s | players then obviously you're giving |
| 1464s | them free to fit their animals I mean |
| 1466s | you could theoretically just give them |
| 1468s | sweet corn but I mean you didn't have to |
| 1470s | go |
| 1470s | against them the example again I mean I |
| 1472s | I kind of did but because there was a |
| 1475s | chance to disagree so I took it yeah |
| 1480s | with with Owen much as a weird case |
| 1482s | because mush is a kind of a way to get |
| 1487s | around limitation with how we built the |
| 1490s | code |
| 1491s | the reason mush exists is because we |
| 1493s | originally didn't let you take food out |
| 1496s | of the troughs once you put it in it was |
| 1498s | gone but then we realized of course |
| 1500s | people wanted to swap based the animals |
| 1501s | we'd already made the trough and all the |
| 1503s | code the way the troughs work and making |
| 1505s | it bespoke for every single item was |
| 1506s | just ridiculous so we we created mush as |
| 1511s | our solution but we want it to be |
| 1513s | untradable so that people would |
| 1515s | partially so they would do their own |
| 1517s | farming runs arose I'm kind of a |
| 1518s | complete tangent here and yeah to the |
| 1522s | bank's base point I think is it is |
| 1524s | something that we're all kind of in |
| 1525s | testing yeah we're obviously yeah yeah |
| 1526s | and we're trying to avoid it's about me |
| 1529s | with items yeah mining money smithing |
| 1531s | ads ads a bank you can put your map your |
| 1533s | metal into which isn't and that'll |
| 1535s | actually saved a lot of bank space when |
| 1536s | it goes live as well because I'll see |
| 1537s | it's taken out I am so which is great so |
| 1539s | there's obviously ways to help with that |
| 1542s | party coming to you for this one what |
| 1543s | are your thoughts on using a massive |
| 1545s | weapon diversity change to justify 120 |
| 1548s | combat skills or vice versa so this this |
| 1551s | question threw me a little bit because |
| 1552s | those two things you know I like I have |
| 1556s | nothing to do with each other like |
| 1557s | weapon diversity for instance will most |
| 1560s | definitely scale from base from level |
| 1563s | one like a level one dagger will have |
| 1565s | the dagger effect on it it's there to |
| 1567s | give us breath |
| 1569s | whereas one twenty upping those values |
| 1572s | would give us depth we catch my drift |
| 1575s | also we're only at tier ninety two and |
| 1578s | we're resistant to hold how hand out |
| 1581s | 1095 because like NPCs are going are |
| 1586s | being killed so fast as fired from like |
| 1588s | sonic etc that people like players just |
| 1591s | don't need that extra power so we're not |
| 1593s | even hit here ninety nine yet so asking |
| 1595s | the question when do we go to 120 |
| 1597s | well we haven't reached ninety nine yet |
| 1600s | so well I mean arguably we could we |
| 1602s | could in theory just take combat to 120 |
| 1604s | without |
| 1604s | whatever they can do with the gear yeah |
| 1607s | would get more power but yeah but then |
| 1612s | there wouldn't be no real there's not |
| 1613s | really content like going taking all |
| 1615s | combat skills to 120 presumably we'd |
| 1617s | need to add the new abilities which |
| 1618s | would be more powerful there's no |
| 1620s | monsters to fight with them I mean |
| 1621s | things do naturally scale that you would |
| 1623s | get more power out of it than you think |
| 1624s | because they multiply up through the |
| 1626s | comm passes yeah yeah just uh I don't |
| 1630s | think it's needed until we're like at |
| 1632s | tier 99 gear we're going come on |
| 1634s | it's it effectively would make the |
| 1637s | reasons for doing our skiller reasons |
| 1639s | not to play at combat reasons you would |
| 1640s | catch my drift right I love the back and |
| 1644s | forth of us great |
| 1647s | would you consider adding rare |
| 1649s | potentially on trade volumes to high-end |
| 1651s | scale in there needed for higher tier |
| 1653s | weapons slash armor I guess Jack |
| 1656s | probably best answer that one from sorry |
| 1658s | what I teach from skilling yes I mean |
| 1662s | that's essentially how the mining |
| 1663s | smithing rework works which is sort of a |
| 1665s | prototype and if that ends up working we |
| 1668s | could look at doing that for other |
| 1669s | things because they it's complicated but |
| 1672s | it essentially requires high tier |
| 1673s | skilling items and high tier PBM items |
| 1675s | and that's where you get the PBM know I |
| 1678s | I kind of like that I kind of miss the |
| 1680s | days when the skillers were feeding the |
| 1683s | DMS because the PBM is gonna make profit |
| 1685s | almost no matter what right there |
| 1687s | especially if they're efficient of what |
| 1688s | they're doing one of the key reasons why |
| 1691s | we're so resistant to give healing items |
| 1694s | in the game is because we kind of missed |
| 1695s | the day when people actually used a lot |
| 1697s | of you have to come from skill yeah |
| 1700s | things like vamp and like Soul split |
| 1703s | kind of diminish to that effect yeah and |
| 1706s | like contrary to like what people would |
| 1708s | believe actually like the fact that |
| 1709s | you've taken skilling items off of |
| 1711s | bosses so you can just can start rien |
| 1713s | ejected them because yeah so in so in |
| 1715s | theory we could look at doing the same |
| 1716s | thing with yeah yeah because it does |
| 1718s | depend on how it goes right like yeah |
| 1720s | because we don't want to wreck the whole |
| 1721s | economy with one updates well yeah you |
| 1723s | have to you have to be really careful |
| 1724s | with it because your investment is kind |
| 1726s | of time rather than the whole gambit of |
| 1729s | I could die and I'm putting these |
| 1730s | supplies in but yeah there's definitely |
| 1732s | a balance there and yeah I think yeah |
| 1735s | that was great I would just say |
| 1737s | biologist |
| 1738s | honest I love you just like people |
| 1740s | talking to each other now just enjoy the |
| 1741s | how these conversations go I finally |
| 1743s | really fast saying like I don't know |
| 1745s | anyway any updates on an iOS mobile beta |
| 1749s | that's all they own answer I have for |
| 1752s | you as soon TM we're using Android as |
| 1755s | our platform currently because we're |
| 1757s | doing a lot of gameplay and UI changes |
| 1760s | which aren't platform specific right so |
| 1762s | we can kind of drill down this again |
| 1764s | again it's about drilling down and |
| 1765s | focusing on what we actually need to |
| 1766s | work on when we come round to doing like |
| 1770s | a device testing on iOS then you'll see |
| 1772s | is that bit specifically because it's |
| 1775s | harder to push updates on iOS no we |
| 1778s | don't have a favorite all right okay we |
| 1781s | have to pick one but we have to pick one |
| 1782s | room awesome right can we have the |
| 1786s | remaining drop rates for the combat |
| 1787s | school impetus reveal there's been quite |
| 1788s | some time since we received the info on |
| 1790s | the normal scale impetus drop weights |
| 1793s | work drop rate yeah no assets ah I guess |
| 1797s | Timbo question that's a question because |
| 1799s | timber obviously is okay Anton was in |
| 1802s | charge of all that all right some |
| 1804s | questions from the chat will pluck them |
| 1806s | off because we're actually have this is |
| 1807s | actually going really well because there |
| 1808s | was a lower the questions ones get |
| 1809s | answered then half way we get chat |
| 1811s | questions then we got never been there |
| 1812s | more questions so it's possible to get |
| 1815s | the game break a title for extensive |
| 1817s | testing of the new mine in smitten |
| 1818s | rework beta in theory yes recently on |
| 1822s | Twitter so crazy make sure that so the |
| 1828s | game breaker title isn't something which |
| 1831s | has a set amount of requirements to earn |
| 1833s | in order to get the game breaker total |
| 1835s | you need to impress the j-mods so much |
| 1837s | and they're just like wow like almost |
| 1840s | I'll make us ask questions why the hell |
| 1841s | did this guy do this much work little |
| 1845s | trivia can you remember the last time he |
| 1846s | gave one and why was it all the quest |
| 1851s | tested and fully documented every single |
| 1854s | quest you need to go you don't don't |
| 1857s | find one bug on the - with a beta or |
| 1859s | even a hundred and assume that you're |
| 1861s | gonna get game breaker you need to go |
| 1863s | above and beyond beat is always the |
| 1866s | easiest time I guess because that's when |
| 1868s | the j-mods are looking for like |
| 1870s | particular |
| 1871s | I guess eight but in general if you're |
| 1873s | starting with your ways that case where |
| 1875s | exactly you're like I want this title |
| 1876s | how can I do the minimum possible to get |
| 1878s | the title you know you're not gonna get |
| 1880s | the title that's not what it's for it's |
| 1881s | like if you were motivated in the first |
| 1883s | place to do that much for some other |
| 1884s | reason then if we notice and it's right |
| 1889s | then we might give you the title game |
| 1890s | game break it was more of a reactive |
| 1892s | thing because when we did the combat |
| 1893s | beat originally we saw like a small |
| 1895s | subset of players just going completely |
| 1898s | out their way and working with us really |
| 1900s | really closely and we were just like it |
| 1902s | was just like a little thank-you that we |
| 1904s | could offer them obviously it's kind of |
| 1906s | grown since then but the original reason |
| 1909s | is to just be recognized extraordinary |
| 1911s | accomplishment yeah yeah some more |
| 1915s | questions in the chat raven comes to you |
| 1917s | on this one what post quest stuff do you |
| 1918s | have plans for the needles some yeah I |
| 1923s | wasn't expecting like I'm already |
| 1927s | working on stuff that maybe my habit and |
| 1930s | it's not necessarily now wake thing they |
| 1935s | go you bought yourself some time is |
| 1941s | there gonna be a showcase for the new |
| 1943s | Christmas event coming up I mean Joe |
| 1948s | stood for John John guys |
| 1950s | I mean I'll check your sign up you'll |
| 1951s | see em you guys showcase for the new |
| 1955s | Christmas event coming up as I said on |
| 1957s | the on a stream schedule next week yeah |
| 1959s | next week have you checked I we got |
| 1973s | actually quite a few minutes between |
| 1974s | chair questions from the chat so I've |
| 1975s | see people wanting to go on the beta and |
| 1977s | get involved so so we're out there I'm |
| 1978s | off really quickly within my inspectin |
| 1980s | why can we tune Bay now my weapons with |
| 1982s | Dragon and demon heads because it's a |
| 1983s | different tuning method that's the |
| 1985s | ginning method that you learn on ket see |
| 1986s | it's not the same method and how will |
| 1988s | the sniffing a mining rework affect the |
| 1990s | scroll of efficiency from at the moment |
| 1992s | it gives +5 % XP but I'm not very happy |
| 1994s | with that because it's only an XP |
| 1996s | benefit and not an economic benefit |
| 1997s | which the current benefit is so we'll |
| 1999s | probably change it to something else |
| 2000s | awesome as continue pie |
| 2004s | one last question for the chair then |
| 2005s | we'll carry on is there any plans for |
| 2006s | food raids boss |
| 2008s | war the combat council really want to do |
| 2011s | it Kelpie |
| 2013s | the combat raids in fact my answer to |
| 2017s | the old-school question is I want raids |
| 2020s | I would yeah I mean like are you saying |
| 2026s | like I love a boss on to the existing |
| 2028s | masks a parade or you talk about new |
| 2030s | raid either at this point I think what I |
| 2033s | think it like we do have existing |
| 2036s | designs for the existing raids we have |
| 2038s | some bosses ready to go not ready to go |
| 2040s | they're not coded but we have a lot of |
| 2043s | people heavily invested and when we talk |
| 2045s | about raids we were talking about mask |
| 2046s | up raids and we're not including elite |
| 2047s | dungeons in there |
| 2048s | I mean elite dungeons dungeons not raids |
| 2051s | yeah |
| 2052s | which have a different loadout I do have |
| 2054s | a another update which could be pitched |
| 2057s | as a raid but I'm not going to talk |
| 2058s | about that however no like actually if |
| 2063s | what is already raids yeah I mean it's |
| 2068s | yeah I want to do it yeah yeah the thing |
| 2075s | is like a 10-man boss encounter is |
| 2079s | incredibly complex when we I mean I was |
| 2082s | part of the team back when we first |
| 2084s | started that project doing like the |
| 2086s | Tusker stuff and then the raids as a |
| 2088s | resolving and the plan was like seven |
| 2090s | yeah and we got to to it kind of it kind |
| 2096s | of harks back to what I said earlier |
| 2098s | about accessibility versus like for the |
| 2102s | end game so if we did do a raid at the |
| 2104s | moment we'd probably go back and try and |
| 2106s | do a whole bunch of stuff you make raids |
| 2108s | a lot more accessible that said they are |
| 2110s | like in the top ten of our boss boss is |
| 2114s | currently in terms of engagement so they |
| 2115s | are doing really really well even even |
| 2118s | this many years after and even with a |
| 2119s | dual reset a two day reset as well it |
| 2122s | was probably because of me yeah but you |
| 2126s | know like we'd probably make it the the |
| 2129s | previous two a lot more accessible so I |
| 2131s | did say we were done with twitch |
| 2132s | questions but I haven't a note just |
| 2134s | added to this pad which has good one for |
| 2136s | Raven so |
| 2137s | it says oh yeah every time a different |
| 2140s | player completes a needle skips is that |
| 2141s | actually just a different iteration of |
| 2142s | the time loop this is one of those I |
| 2150s | mean I've been having a travel question |
| 2152s | all day I mean yeah I'm gonna have to |
| 2154s | say sure but it's also which is you're |
| 2159s | trying to apply logic to what is clearly |
| 2161s | a gameplay moment in the same way that |
| 2163s | like there aren't hundreds of people |
| 2165s | well you know all defeating sliska in |
| 2169s | completely different timelines you know |
| 2170s | there aren't well balanced you know the |
| 2174s | the chef isn't getting thousands of |
| 2176s | people to make cake so we can you know |
| 2178s | force-feed them to the Duke is just |
| 2180s | going no please no more cake |
| 2182s | it's a gameplay thing but so they're not |
| 2185s | all separate incidents since it's that |
| 2188s | kind of game you weigh me stuff all |
| 2192s | right |
| 2192s | these this go to a quick section on game |
| 2194s | jam projects obviously a game jam play |
| 2196s | plays very recently Kelpie if you don't |
| 2199s | mind me asking that stateís wise on game |
| 2201s | jam projects how are we looking |
| 2203s | since we're so we were in the past we've |
| 2206s | kind of done game jams it's just being |
| 2207s | kind of being a bit open free-for-all |
| 2209s | what do you want to make hey here's some |
| 2211s | cool stuff some stuff people might go a |
| 2215s | little bit silly penguin musical raids |
| 2219s | don't know what you mean yes we're song |
| 2226s | but we have done stuff and we've been a |
| 2229s | bit slow to it like we've we know like |
| 2231s | we've done some stuff in players have |
| 2232s | liked some stuff that's been done and |
| 2234s | we've been very slow to get out because |
| 2236s | we've kind of done the game jam but |
| 2237s | we've not really had a proper plan to |
| 2239s | actually get them out whilst this time |
| 2241s | we're very much like right let's do a |
| 2243s | game jam but let's make it focused and |
| 2245s | make sure we've set some time aside to |
| 2246s | actually finish him off some of these |
| 2249s | projects and getting them released as a |
| 2252s | result of what we did of the team did |
| 2256s | was quite an injury in nature for a lot |
| 2260s | of stuff and the ninja team are taking |
| 2263s | on a lot of stuff in terms of finishing |
| 2265s | off packaging them up a bit more |
| 2269s | along with some of the ninja fixes that |
| 2271s | they've kind of got planned so that we |
| 2274s | may have such things as a fire-making |
| 2277s | week or more the combat fixes type week |
| 2281s | so the ninja team have put some plans in |
| 2285s | place in terms of what they're working |
| 2287s | on generally you'd like the majority |
| 2290s | there is all stuff we're happy to see |
| 2292s | in-game some things will be in sooner |
| 2297s | than others so yeah I mean we we have |
| 2302s | dedicated some time some stuff will get |
| 2304s | in there and then other stuff might be |
| 2306s | more drip read over time ninja might |
| 2309s | continue to pick up some stuff but other |
| 2312s | stuff might need to be more packaged in |
| 2315s | with larger updates and stuff |
| 2318s | for example weapon diversity I think |
| 2322s | well I need to have a conversation with |
| 2324s | combat cancer at some point because I |
| 2325s | would like to release weapons you some |
| 2331s | of the stuff are time individual out for |
| 2334s | some of their works only if they would |
| 2335s | rather kind it like we don't we don't |
| 2337s | want to create little micro imbalances |
| 2339s | we also don't want to come into a world |
| 2342s | where we've done all of the worst thing |
| 2344s | we could do all of the mage ones first |
| 2346s | and then the other ones we like if they |
| 2348s | don't want to do that but yeah yeah but |
| 2350s | but like it's about releasing it in a |
| 2352s | balanced way like temporary micro |
| 2355s | imbalances we can deal with but like the |
| 2358s | reason why I want to do all of them at |
| 2359s | one is about whether whether we can |
| 2361s | break it up a bit so that is easier to |
| 2365s | kind of get through the work and release |
| 2366s | them maybe it does mean changing the |
| 2369s | meta for a while but whether that's |
| 2372s | acceptable or not but we haven't had the |
| 2374s | proper conversation about that calm so I |
| 2377s | it's probably unlikely because our |
| 2380s | they're the experts into I listen to |
| 2383s | what they say but yes so there is a |
| 2387s | number of stuff coming through you you |
| 2389s | you probably see some stuff in January |
| 2393s | February March for sure |
| 2395s | after that hmm we'll see when |
| 2398s | it was kind of left and the priority we |
| 2401s | want to give stuff but I would expect - |
| 2404s | we talked a little bit earlier on about |
| 2405s | some of the quest changes that allow |
| 2408s | people to prioritize or not priority so |
| 2412s | much as ordering and ordering and paying |
| 2415s | based on dates of release and all that |
| 2417s | sort of stuff so I definitely expect to |
| 2419s | see they're out early in the new year |
| 2423s | along with yeah bunch of others so |
| 2426s | actually while we're on the topic games |
| 2428s | on projects when I think we should |
| 2429s | probably touch palm if you go any of |
| 2430s | that if people are really keen for any |
| 2432s | particular ones they want to ask about |
| 2433s | do ask and I can maybe give a bit more |
| 2436s | information |
| 2437s | yeah sure I think we can touch upon what |
| 2440s | brahmins been up to NextEra d i mean |
| 2442s | it's a good time to talk about this now |
| 2443s | so I mean you want to take this one so |
| 2446s | it was it it didn't escape him that what |
| 2449s | he was doing was a bit controversial so |
| 2452s | what he's actually done this he's spoken |
| 2454s | to the mining smithing guys and right |
| 2456s | now in the mining smithing beat the next |
| 2459s | changes are actually live so you can |
| 2462s | actually jump in the beater and test |
| 2464s | those changes and give him some feedback |
| 2466s | yeah yeah the next change is a the AOD |
| 2470s | changes sorry not next yeah I mean they |
| 2472s | are oh yeah please jump in please bug |
| 2476s | rom and about it someone said one of the |
| 2479s | changes I'll see if I can get it up on |
| 2480s | this pad in a second but bear with me |
| 2482s | but yeah I think it's a really good |
| 2484s | opportunity while we have the bait on |
| 2485s | going to kind of do stuff of this and I |
| 2487s | think having that ability to do this |
| 2489s | because as you mentioned obviously it's |
| 2491s | a very big change to was obviously a |
| 2493s | very the boss and profits and so on so |
| 2495s | forth it's very important we get it |
| 2497s | right so having our opportunity to do it |
| 2499s | is great so yes definitely check that |
| 2500s | out in the - written beta and he'll |
| 2502s | maybe you try and take on a OD with some |
| 2504s | of them all new my name is fishing gear |
| 2505s | from that beta see how you get on that |
| 2507s | so yeah thought we'd update you on that |
| 2509s | one because that went live we've the |
| 2511s | reboot we did today with the - within |
| 2512s | beta so definitely give Raman all your |
| 2514s | feedback I saw so on asked about |
| 2517s | chemical onyx yeah jewellery and |
| 2522s | yeah that would be out before the end of |
| 2524s | the year nice and that was from that |
| 2526s | wasn't from the last game jam that was |
| 2528s | one from the time before that is indeed |
| 2532s | coming that's good I remember someone |
| 2534s | being worked on a project to be able to |
| 2536s | customize what the first action on an |
| 2539s | action bar does is there any news on |
| 2541s | this yes that was mods and I believe |
| 2550s | that there is some some stuff we do need |
| 2554s | to resolve of it so it's not a it's not |
| 2556s | a straightforward thing unfortunately |
| 2557s | they saw it on stream tonight yeah they |
| 2559s | didn't work reason and that's what we |
| 2563s | are resolving but is a you obviously and |
| 2566s | so it's a great quality of life up there |
| 2568s | yeah we would like to get into the game |
| 2570s | oh oh it's not been just thrown to one |
| 2574s | side or thing but we need to go through |
| 2576s | the work to actually get it done so this |
| 2578s | I'm gonna ask this question in relation |
| 2580s | to game jam then I'm gonna ask a |
| 2581s | question related to ninjas because they |
| 2582s | both kind of tie in with removals let's |
| 2584s | talk about the removal of bounty hunter |
| 2586s | first so where are we with that well |
| 2591s | oppai that's that was your project what |
| 2593s | it is you wanna explain what you've done |
| 2595s | okay so the it's it's there's an awful |
| 2604s | lot done but there's a couple of large |
| 2608s | additions still to complete so one of |
| 2611s | them is the big boss fight phase half of |
| 2614s | its written and we need to appalling on |
| 2618s | the wooden of Slayer we that is |
| 2621s | definitely not dead and we're looking to |
| 2624s | get a team to pick it up and release it |
| 2628s | probably the only person to be really |
| 2631s | really eager to remove what I put into |
| 2633s | the game like avidly please get rid of |
| 2637s | it so yeah yeah and that is something |
| 2642s | that ninja team have highlighted that |
| 2644s | they will try to work on and hopefully |
| 2648s | release early next year but |
| 2654s | you there is stuff to finish and we have |
| 2656s | to take into account how long that takes |
| 2659s | and I don't know if we could potentially |
| 2663s | release some of the stuff without all |
| 2666s | that in place the only the only issue |
| 2669s | would be the tier 87 weapon yeah because |
| 2673s | they yeah they like they can't turn into |
| 2676s | discontinued items so we need a strategy |
| 2681s | for making sure that they are still in |
| 2683s | the game and still obtained yeah so yeah |
| 2686s | we're keen to to get there done as part |
| 2689s | of the game jam stuff because it's a I |
| 2690s | mean that's been to game jams isn't it |
| 2692s | maybe yeah yeah yeah February and yeah |
| 2696s | no sorry April 1 yes yeah we yeah |
| 2699s | recognize the desire first off ok and |
| 2702s | I'll see I mentioned the other part of a |
| 2704s | removal question so I guess when she's |
| 2705s | mobilizing armies where are we with tand |
| 2707s | removal Oh Nami coming soon I'm not up |
| 2712s | to date where exactly it's a waiting |
| 2714s | copy so is this tomorrow school making |
| 2717s | its way in now yeah whatever that may be |
| 2719s | yeah we've seen the work that ninjas are |
| 2721s | done and we've approved the work so it's |
| 2724s | yeah only a matter of time really |
| 2728s | awesome rights |
| 2730s | what's the stats on the data stream she |
| 2732s | only said something about hosting the |
| 2733s | streams showing various data samples |
| 2734s | blah blah blah blah blah so yes |
| 2738s | the data stream I want to do by the end |
| 2740s | of this year to go through the stuff |
| 2743s | we've gone through in the past obviously |
| 2745s | and see what awesome stuff down leox |
| 2746s | guys are up for letting a show I guess |
| 2749s | so we have a really amazing analytics |
| 2752s | team data wise that we can get rid again |
| 2754s | now I feel like you know having that |
| 2756s | stream to showcase it's gonna be awesome |
| 2757s | so looking to try and do that by the end |
| 2759s | of the year fingers crossed |
| 2762s | could the guardian of the grove title be |
| 2763s | changed into something that is a bit |
| 2765s | less elem fee ramen this big to him but |
| 2769s | he never gave me an answer it's one of |
| 2771s | those odds questions you back from and |
| 2774s | like we worked in India and stuff where |
| 2776s | it's kind of like well one person is |
| 2778s | asked for that thing it's like yeah yeah |
| 2780s | we could but probably who like I imagine |
| 2783s | it and then you want to pick that up |
| 2785s | whatever then I imagine they'll go |
| 2786s | through and then you |
| 2787s | where people actually need to approve |
| 2789s | that since it's something existing the |
| 2790s | game is it's a minor thing really in the |
| 2794s | grand scheme of things what is the |
| 2796s | status on the alternate tsunami being |
| 2798s | changed that it works the same as dragon |
| 2800s | breath ie no longer needing to be facing |
| 2803s | in a certain direction for it to |
| 2805s | activate and he's writing it down his |
| 2806s | pipe hat yeah because that's another one |
| 2808s | that's been sent in the combat backlog |
| 2810s | that I will pick up well there we go |
| 2814s | career can we report the option of being |
| 2817s | allowed to see the names of people |
| 2819s | placed in certain items and Citadel's to |
| 2820s | block the banker I was not aware that |
| 2823s | was a phone you own one to be honest |
| 2824s | ie pole was currently only shows time |
| 2827s | not the person who placed it which I |
| 2829s | suppose is to try and combat paw patrols |
| 2832s | repol would be fine I mean I guess so we |
| 2835s | currently don't show people's names is |
| 2837s | that what saying yeah I believe they |
| 2839s | would probably do that to bring not to |
| 2841s | give them celebrity awkward right so the |
| 2845s | first guy places one and a long guy |
| 2847s | comes with six and five sorry |
| 2850s | and then extends it like who's named you |
| 2852s | put there I mean we've also we've polled |
| 2854s | it before as well then we've made a |
| 2855s | decision and we can never change a |
| 2857s | decision no how about some balance |
| 2874s | changes to existing content |
| 2875s | Jagex is always being a little bit |
| 2876s | reluctant to change existing contents |
| 2878s | bring it more in line with new slash |
| 2879s | other contents apples just so the salt |
| 2890s | is the one that springs to mind English |
| 2893s | Rison the damage of dark beasts and cat |
| 2896s | sick with metaphors release yes I |
| 2898s | remember that yeah I remember very well |
| 2901s | you know biggest issues we've had well |
| 2904s | we made their mom see their HP scale |
| 2906s | because it while the XP coffin was very |
| 2909s | easy that was considered so thanks for |
| 2913s | some really old content yeah old content |
| 2915s | where say like a hunter creature that no |
| 2918s | one ever trains at anymore |
| 2920s | and uses of rewards from anymore some |
| 2923s | other you we need to think of a bit more |
| 2925s | of a kind of like okay we're adding some |
| 2928s | new hunter content and instead of like |
| 2931s | trying to find a gap in hunter we would |
| 2934s | that she just take that out and replace |
| 2936s | it with a new thing and kind of |
| 2938s | modernize it that way rather than just |
| 2941s | always trying to kind of modernize the |
| 2943s | old content because that doesn't tend to |
| 2946s | go so well there's agile then working |
| 2947s | also with things like legacy codes where |
| 2950s | is some most you guys tell me but I'm |
| 2953s | sure it's probably a lot easier to just |
| 2954s | rewrite fresh new code then try and |
| 2957s | rework old stuff there's a vision that |
| 2959s | some players have I think that that all |
| 2961s | content should remain relevant always |
| 2964s | and that's not really a realistic |
| 2967s | objective for us but we just don't |
| 2969s | really do that no I kind of see the |
| 2971s | releases like the journey of a player's |
| 2973s | if they go through it's a shame that |
| 2976s | there's something that you did like ten |
| 2978s | years ago that is really amazing and a |
| 2979s | key part of your teenage years that now |
| 2982s | it just isn't worth doing anymore and |
| 2983s | that kind of sucks but we can't |
| 2984s | necessarily take that cool what's the |
| 2988s | general consensus on retiring their |
| 2990s | legacy game client to re Java are you |
| 2992s | waiting until the mobile app is out to |
| 2994s | do this don't think it's tied into |
| 2996s | mobile there's still a desire for us to |
| 2998s | do that generally there has been a large |
| 3002s | enough player base still using Java |
| 3004s | which is why we've not done it it is a |
| 3010s | car it has been a while since I've |
| 3012s | looked at that but for a long time it |
| 3014s | was kind of still sitting at kind of |
| 3016s | maybe like fifteen ten percent on Java |
| 3019s | and it's always been the case that we've |
| 3021s | wanted to get rid of it but I don't |
| 3025s | think it's tied into mobile in any way |
| 3027s | like we wouldn't associate with mobile |
| 3030s | but yes it's it's definitely something |
| 3032s | that you we were talking about it again |
| 3034s | recently and it's definitely something |
| 3035s | we want to do because it doesn't add |
| 3037s | more work on to people's lives and stuff |
| 3040s | can the agility skill be looked at and |
| 3043s | made more fun no no I think rite of |
| 3050s | passage I think it depends on |
| 3053s | what you talk about if you're talking |
| 3054s | about making agility courses maybe hi |
| 3060s | taking out a certain agility course |
| 3062s | trying to make it more fun then sure if |
| 3064s | you're talking about the kind of agility |
| 3065s | reworks I think you then they really |
| 3071s | need to see the benefit of ivory work in |
| 3073s | the whole skill and what its going to |
| 3074s | bring to the game because it would no |
| 3076s | doubt be a huge project and very |
| 3079s | time-consuming and you is that the best |
| 3082s | thing when we could work on the billion |
| 3084s | other type things but I know like you PI |
| 3087s | for example is had plans to update one |
| 3090s | of them I mean yeah one like make a |
| 3093s | high-level version of the Bremerhaven |
| 3095s | agility arena I really enjoyed it when I |
| 3097s | played it back in the day I really |
| 3101s | enjoyed it until I died with 798 tickets |
| 3104s | on me whilst I was going for pirate hook |
| 3105s | but yeah I know that but like something |
| 3110s | a bit more engaging rather than just |
| 3112s | like go around agility course I mean |
| 3114s | that actually asks you questions me and |
| 3116s | mod hunter actually made up like a |
| 3118s | prototype where we increase the size of |
| 3121s | the platforms there were two tickets |
| 3122s | going off at once some of the agility |
| 3125s | obstacles disappeared so you had to |
| 3127s | think a bit more about your route to |
| 3128s | make it a bit more cerebral a bit more |
| 3130s | fun but it's also quite good because |
| 3132s | it's like if you'll go on the same world |
| 3133s | it's quite a community-driven thing |
| 3135s | because like once you've got your |
| 3137s | tickets you're all set around like |
| 3139s | chatting rubbish which is what RINs gets |
| 3143s | about right so I guess I can kind of I'm |
| 3150s | gonna use it as an opportunity to talk |
| 3151s | about what the thing I want to do |
| 3153s | actually no because when I'm about Julie |
| 3155s | so why not so I found out that I'm now |
| 3159s | able to talk about this so I'm quite |
| 3160s | excited so clans and the clan cups now |
| 3164s | jagex |
| 3164s | i runescape have not done their kind cup |
| 3166s | officially since 2015 the last one we've |
| 3169s | had was 2016 is hosted by players for |
| 3172s | 2018 the end of 2018 well fingers |
| 3174s | crossed anyway but you know as the way |
| 3175s | it is we want to try to do a pilot |
| 3180s | version of a skilling Cup now in essence |
| 3182s | we choose one skill for a week and allow |
| 3185s | clans to just |
| 3187s | go for it and see which clans couldn't |
| 3189s | essentially you know be the most |
| 3191s | efficient skillers in a skill for a week |
| 3194s | I'm not gonna go into the full details |
| 3196s | of it because I'm just gonna say there's |
| 3198s | now a forum open for it if mod Paul |
| 3200s | keeps watching and he said he was and |
| 3202s | hopefully he's opened it there should be |
| 3203s | a forum open where we can discuss it |
| 3206s | there there's no official date and so on |
| 3209s | but the door is open to discuss this to |
| 3212s | try and add a bit more fun into skilling |
| 3215s | therefore well agility is gonna be |
| 3216s | interesting to see how everyone trains |
| 3218s | it I guess to see who's the most |
| 3219s | efficient on it so it should be good |
| 3222s | there are clouds and if the skilling cup |
| 3224s | goes down well for the pilot version |
| 3227s | there is room for more so fingers |
| 3229s | crossed and the only way you can gain XP |
| 3232s | is based experience so no bonus |
| 3234s | experience no outfit boosting experience |
| 3236s | still the whole purpose one counts |
| 3238s | either it's the change of face extra |
| 3239s | guys so yeah it's basically who will be |
| 3242s | the most efficient and so we'll see how |
| 3244s | it goes so that I think that's something |
| 3246s | that I wanted to do for a while so |
| 3247s | hopefully it'll be worth it |
| 3249s | we'll go onto another question and we |
| 3250s | have more questions from the chat and |
| 3252s | then we can wrap up we've answered a lot |
| 3254s | I'm really happy about this can you |
| 3257s | achieve attack be able to remember the |
| 3258s | last tab slash achievement you have |
| 3260s | opened before so the problem being where |
| 3264s | someone's doing these summoning |
| 3266s | achievements they can bring up the list |
| 3267s | and look at oh I've done this but then |
| 3269s | when they open up the achievements tab |
| 3270s | there to go all the way back into the |
| 3271s | tabs behind the specific one so is that |
| 3273s | possible do we know I mean I've not |
| 3276s | looked at the code in my head as |
| 3277s | possible I'm not gonna promise anything |
| 3280s | until I look at the code I'm in the same |
| 3282s | same going to maybe you know the guys |
| 3288s | that made it going no no awesome all |
| 3292s | right it's got some more questions can I |
| 3293s | saw a wheelchair it has the best beard |
| 3295s | and I think that has to be struggle |
| 3300s | yeah down that is we've no but this is |
| 3311s | the film we've had a straw poll on these |
| 3312s | streams bring the straw pool |
| 3322s | I'd not had anything and then I just saw |
| 3323s | someone talk about beards no so let's do |
| 3326s | it |
| 3328s | no joke one of the questions I'm worried |
| 3330s | for the chat is how could we don't pull |
| 3331s | the community like I was how can we walk |
| 3334s | don't pull the community like oh it's |
| 3335s | our Esther's I pull them in gamestop see |
| 3337s | all right but I mean I mean we do try to |
| 3341s | do a bit more than ninja stuff |
| 3344s | unfortunately a lot the kind of |
| 3347s | questions that we end up asking tend to |
| 3349s | be Eva really kind of mine are all ones |
| 3352s | that take a bit of time to do so like we |
| 3353s | try to actually complete all the work |
| 3356s | from a poll before we do next one they |
| 3357s | do have another one plans but not for |
| 3360s | quite a while but yeah our strategy |
| 3363s | isn't to pull everything that's not what |
| 3365s | we do like this works for what's going |
| 3368s | stuff and that's there Astro like we've |
| 3371s | done some sorry modify that and have a |
| 3374s | bit soon well we ended up pulling two |
| 3376s | things against each other and the answer |
| 3377s | was do both |
| 3377s | yeah actually the poll didn't really |
| 3379s | help very much because they as soon as |
| 3380s | we polled it everyone was like yeah yeah |
| 3382s | we need that now we definitely want to |
| 3383s | work closely with our community and you |
| 3387s | we've got we'll look into how to do that |
| 3390s | there are different strategies with that |
| 3393s | but and some of its not stuff people |
| 3396s | necessarily see and realize we do |
| 3398s | because it's not everything is just post |
| 3401s | something I'm read it but yeah we we do |
| 3405s | we are working we do want to wear with |
| 3407s | people but we are willing you it's not |
| 3409s | Australia and so we often have like |
| 3412s | discussion designed about things in |
| 3414s | discord so people can get involved and |
| 3417s | talking about supply things undermining |
| 3418s | smithing is been running away yeah we |
| 3420s | have the the law I chat and open sorry |
| 3425s | sorry so we and we I know that Kyle are |
| 3429s | had did his own quest shop thing by the |
| 3431s | yeah as well so |
| 3434s | we do used we did player and farm in |
| 3436s | discord as well so we often try and get |
| 3438s | involving players like there so I find I |
| 3440s | find chatting to the players better than |
| 3444s | Pauling because you get you don't just |
| 3446s | get an answer you get every reason for |
| 3447s | the answers and you get back and forth |
| 3449s | yeah like we could we could get a pond |
| 3452s | answer and we're not so keen on that and |
| 3454s | then we can go all these are our reasons |
| 3455s | and then also it's clear it can be |
| 3457s | really hard when you're such a question |
| 3464s | like I mean you how did someone |
| 3468s | interpret it interpret that questions so |
| 3471s | yeah definitely discussions work I think |
| 3474s | I'm gonna end the stream with a question |
| 3476s | for myself actually so about this little |
| 3478s | discussion we just had so how do we |
| 3480s | define you stay talking to players vet |
| 3482s | them through a poll how do you find that |
| 3484s | middle ground where you consider it |
| 3486s | enough valuable information versus oh |
| 3488s | they're just ranted me rant in to me |
| 3490s | about XY and Z right where's that line |
| 3492s | or it depends on the context yeah that's |
| 3495s | yeah like we get there a total like we |
| 3498s | we never want to do something the player |
| 3501s | base don't want ever and so we try to do |
| 3504s | what the player base do want anomalies |
| 3506s | at all to learn that but it's not |
| 3509s | necessarily the only tool or the most |
| 3510s | accurate or so so s OS uses them like |
| 3513s | that's that principle the guiding |
| 3514s | principle for their game is the active |
| 3516s | player base determine what goes into the |
| 3518s | game and that's like their philosophy |
| 3519s | that they operate by but for us we're |
| 3521s | often trying like the currently active |
| 3523s | players running the poll are not the |
| 3524s | only target audience for the content for |
| 3526s | example so if we're trying to if we're |
| 3527s | trying to like improve some game feature |
| 3530s | then that players might not might not |
| 3532s | know that's going on and so like by |
| 3535s | definition almost the active players are |
| 3536s | the people that don't have a problem |
| 3537s | with how it is all right that's fair any |
| 3540s | anyone else I'd say ranting isn't |
| 3543s | something you should disconnect account |
| 3545s | as well right like ranting tells you |
| 3548s | tells me an awful lot like I've been |
| 3550s | rounded out and more times than I can |
| 3552s | count but it's it's like another fact |
| 3556s | for me it's another form of |
| 3557s | communication |
| 3557s | they're just communicating it badly if |
| 3559s | you catch my drift yeah someone's if I |
| 3561s | make it balanced change in EOC and I get |
| 3564s | a ton of hate like |
| 3567s | you you as a JMO do you need to be like |
| 3569s | adult enough to take a step back and see |
| 3572s | the reasons why you're getting said hey |
| 3574s | and then look objectively yeah you don't |
| 3577s | get all the hair yeah there's a problem |
| 3579s | but you end up speaking to the person |
| 3581s | who's gonna be reasonably and explain it |
| 3583s | bare and yeah it's about getting that |
| 3587s | right kind of conversation with them |
| 3589s | yeah like someone having a problem and |
| 3592s | providing me that sort of feedback that |
| 3594s | is negative that is constructive is |
| 3597s | great like we love that probably we |
| 3600s | don't love it because I would like our |
| 3602s | stuff to be the greatest thing ever as |
| 3603s | far as our concern certainly I would but |
| 3605s | I've an ego but we is useful to have |
| 3608s | that relation because you can tailor you |
| 3609s | can change and we have made huge changes |
| 3610s | based on this everybody isn't terrible |
| 3613s | you so we just care Wow or you should be |
| 3617s | fired like that's not useful because |
| 3619s | it's no kind of it just it needs to be |
| 3622s | focused it needs to be constructive like |
| 3624s | we will listen to all good constructive |
| 3627s | feedback but if it's just a torrent of |
| 3630s | screaming then it's not terribly useful |
| 3631s | I mean if you don't mind me saying I |
| 3633s | endgame initially at the starting today |
| 3636s | why the end game oh yeah someone decided |
| 3640s | to tweet me their chat which just I hate |
| 3644s | this should be fired and I'm like that's |
| 3646s | not useful to me like yeah knowing why |
| 3648s | the mains didn't work knowing the |
| 3650s | problems there is useful like we've |
| 3651s | looked to going forward we've adjusted |
| 3653s | any plans that we had and we've made |
| 3655s | changes and we've adapted the schedule |
| 3656s | based on that but just the other things |
| 3658s | it's just not useful awesome oh I think |
| 3662s | you know I think that's probably the |
| 3663s | best way I could have ended a stream I |
| 3665s | mean it's kind of giving us a little |
| 3666s | insight it's to trying how we figure out |
| 3669s | I guess feedback discussions and stuff I |
| 3670s | think it's really cool to trust kind of |
| 3672s | chime in on that obviously you know |
| 3674s | thank you so much to you for for joining |
| 3675s | me like for the entire hour Cal peopIe |
| 3678s | it's been great to have you back on the |
| 3679s | stream for the first time in a very long |
| 3681s | time there hopefully yeah I'm sure the |
| 3690s | chat one your barber I mean let us know |
| 3691s | if you enjoyed the stream as well that's |
| 3692s | like the biggest thing here I have one |
| 3694s | thing I am noticing there's a lot of |
| 3695s | repeat questions about player in house |
| 3698s | [Music] |
| 3699s | mobilizing areas and stuff and we we |
| 3702s | have answer those yes screams so you |
| 3704s | have you've missed them then please |
| 3706s | watch back because we have covered them |
| 3708s | so go to bread oh yeah the TLDR |
| 3712s | seriously or river here so by all means |
| 3716s | lien let's know if you enjoy the stream |
| 3718s | I think it's John I think John I think |
| 3720s | it's safe to say we kind of want to do |
| 3722s | hun in general streams a bit more in the |
| 3724s | future |
| 3724s | Oh try and do a bit more regular yes I |
| 3726s | think it's great to kind of take it you |
| 3728s | know of course not in every weekend but |
| 3729s | I take a step back and kind of address |
| 3731s | more general topics across the game |
| 3733s | itself and not just focusing on done |
| 3735s | most recent content coming up I think |
| 3736s | it's good to kinda take that step back |
| 3738s | kind of similar to like how we do Curel |
| 3741s | weeks on the older content stuff for |
| 3742s | that in a way so the Paki AK plus she |
| 3746s | apparently has the best beard as is |
| 3748s | decided by a straw poll so there you |
| 3749s | have it |
| 3750s | I'm amazed anyone voting for this |
| 3759s | [Laughter] |
| 3761s | hopefully we've answered as much as we |
| 3763s | can and hopefully you are all satisfied |
| 3764s | which we know we've tried our best to do |
| 3766s | that but as a note next week stream |
| 3768s | we're actually gonna be looking at the |
| 3770s | apps that we use to create the Christmas |
| 3772s | quest and for the first time we're |
| 3773s | actually gonna looking into some of how |
| 3775s | the audio team have created the audio to |
| 3777s | do with a quest which I'm very excited |
| 3778s | for so for the very first time I trained |
| 3780s | for the act really know here we go there |
| 3785s | we go again I think a path analysis |
| 3789s | anything you guys want to say to wrap up |
| 3790s | I think we're done here play the money |
| 3792s | it's breathing be true there we go nice |
| 3793s | yes and go play a OD yeah alright thank |
| 3801s | you so much everybody this we hope you |
